I smell Anti-freeze 2 minutes after driving.I see no leaks anywhere.Head and block have been shaved.I haven't tightened the head bolts sense rebuild 4 years ago.

Check freeze plugs, over flow tube (over fill will pump out), hoses and water pump if you have one. Might not hurt to retorque the head, 45-50 is good. If there is no white smoke or leaks around the head more then likely one of the above.

I suspect the system is just a little over-filled. It should find its own correct level after a few good drives. Occasionally check the level and make sure it continues to cover the tops of the cooling tubes.
